finally a flick about robots with a story

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2014)

I never intended to pick this up because there are so many flicks out with robots and some do work but when monsters are involved it could become a camp flick. But when two major shops left our country the had to get rid of their stock so that was the moment to visit both, and I came across Pacific Rim 3D rather cheap.
Now that I finally has seen it I'm happy I did. It's an excellent flick and even as it contains monsters and robots in the main lead it do has a real story to tell. When the flick started it immediately reminded me of course of Godzilla but also Cloverfield (2008) came to my mind. But it wasn't all about monsters here. There's a bit of a macho thing going on and a love story luckily that part you could see coming and is only a main issue the mast minute.
On part of the effects they were stunning and the 3D was also worth watching. Even as it clocks in over 2 hours this flick was over before you know it. It never had any weakness. A rather big surprise that it was actually good after the failure of Battleship (2012) and Batlle Los Angeles (2011). And when it do becomes camp it's when Ron Perlman (Hannibal) comes in.
Be sure to watch further when the end credits start, there's a big joke coming...Now that those monsters are killed it's time for Godzilla (2014) to attack again...
